Membership Assemby Packet #1This Membership Assembly Packet #1 gives you a full compilation as of February 10th, 2014 of the first round of logistical information, as well as the first preparatory readings for the Assembly.

Why is this Membership Assembly Important?

GGJ has a long tradition of important Membership Assemblies— and this year’s is no different. When we gather in Detroit, more than 100 of this country’s most dynamic organizers will be taking time away from some of the most important social justice struggles happening right now. We will be converging at a time when the situations in our communities and around the globe are getting more and more critical. Conditions are worsening for many, and struggles are widening and deepening.

This year’s Membership Assembly is particularly important, as we will be building on the advances made at past assemblies.

Who should attend?

In April, dozens of the most kick-ass organizers from across the country— and around the globe— will be gathering in Detroit for GGJ’s 2014 Membership Assembly. Because it is such a commitment for all of us to dedicate the resources to travel and take time away from our pressing campaigns, we want to make sure to make the best use of our time together.

One important part of this preparation will be the work our organizations do before our representatives even get to the Assembly.

Over the next few months, we are asking GGJ members to engage in discussions, and to aim to bring 2 representatives from your organization to the Membership Assembly in April.
